Coming Home
October 4th, 2006 @ 22:41:13 | MichiganTech
Well, for about a week since I arrived in Houghton, my body continued to be in some weird timezone but having returned in the Home Coming week and Fall foliage about to peak, I had quite many stuff to entertain myself. After properly unpacking my stuff (& other related work) and taking care of some pending-research-related work (about a manuscript we had submitted to Chem. Phys. Lett., etc), I went to the Western part of Upper Michigan with Dr. Orlando. The drive/ride had its anxious moments (no, not accidents) as rain & Sunshine continued their Hide n’ Seek along our trip to Porcupine Mountains…. Well, colors are quite pretty and the range of colors makes photography very hard to resist… Without further ado, here are some pictures I shot (many with Nikon 70-200mm VR lens):

Contrary to my last visit, Lake Superior was its quietest – nearly optically-flat surface all along the shore and the weather was a bit too chilly (guess it’s a trade off: need colors? get cold weather too…) Colors, needless to mention – as far as my eyesight could take. Overall, it was quite a nice trip – though I would have loved to do the Lake Superior Circle Tour – may be some day, hopefully….
After a good-night’s rest, I woke to the day after Houghton’s Hobo Parade – for the fourth successive year, I missed it, but Kyle shot some nicer pictures…I wandered about a bit and managed to get some left-over shots of that parade…

It was Home Coming Weekend and Tech was facing off Hillsdale in GLIAC Football. /me went to the game, met lot of friends and I fought hard (no, no… I *shot* hard with my camera) to make sure that Tech won its first game of the season – a pretty close one at that. If only I was allowed to shoot from the sidelines, I would have gotten better pictures. And this makes me seriously think about getting a *fake press ID* for myself…

Someday during the first part the new week, I squeezed sometime to shoot some more pictures – Houghton’s Cemetery, Sunset in McLain State Park, and such.

Guess, we have just handful of days left before Fall ends and the looooooooong season starts – few of my friends have been planning something for the upcoming weekend. And if snow decides to make an early appearance, you can expect a variety of pictures in my next entry….
